Default This is it....

Well you guys... i managed to save up some green.... but now i dont know what route i should go.. many people tell me different opinions.. but im jus gonna set up this poll... i was thinkin of buying a crx for 1k and daily drive that... then it can be a project car... but some tell me to go get a JDM front end conversion... now im confused... should i just get a daily driver? or a conversion?... the reason why i wanna get a daily driver is because... i might also be working at papa john's pizza being a delivery boy... but the problem is... i already got 9k+ miles on my R and i dont wanna be carry pizza around in that... but i guess ill leave it up to u guys to help me decide...

You don't want to be racking up city miles on an ITR delivering pizza. Get yourself a geo metro.

yeah, don't deliver Pizzas in a R. You would regret puttin that many miles on your car. Get a daily driver/beater

well, to be honest, I have been stuck driving my beater for 2 months and Im sick of it. However, if I delivered pizza, I wouldnt wanna run them around in my R. Get a good reliable beater. Then u can put your car in the shop for 2 months like me and not have to worry about transportation. But when I get my car back Im sure Im gonna want to drive my beater off a cliff.

On top of that, you'll probably jack up the pizza since the R has some stiffer than normal suspension.

Get the jap nose and find a new job if not,get a beater.I delivered pizzas in my 300zx turbo and regreted it,pizzas and food stinking up the ride,flying around town all night is not good for your pride and joy(the R).

IMHO i think the jdm front end is sucha waste. with the amount of money you spend on buying, painting, installing the kit, you can have a DAYM fast R. Than, have money leftover to buy rims etc. don't get me wrong i love the jdm front end, but i guess i'm on the more "go" side than "show" side.

I find it odd that this statement:

Directly follows this one:

Than, have money leftover to buy rims etc.

how is that hard to understand? get some lightweight rims for racing? i think you like to confuse yourself when reading posts. i'm just saying get some light track rims with decent tires, how does that have anything to do with show?
